Trilobular screws have a slightly three sided thread profile that forms its own thread as it's driven, which is why appliance makers use them for fixing into pre-punched holes. A standard hardware screw of a similar size won't grip the same way. Order 4055549135 when it's the number in your appliance's parts list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a trilobular screw is worth matching\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrews go missing or get damaged during repairs more often than people expect. A trilobular screw relies on its shape to form the thread and lock in place, so it resists loosening from vibration and heat. If you swap in a different screw, it may strip the existing hole, sit too proud, or work loose and rattle. Using the exact 4.5 x 16mm screw keeps panels and brackets tight and avoids damaging the threads already formed in the appliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055549135\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrilobular thread forming screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 x 16mm size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Electrolux group appliances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5 x 16mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrilobular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing the screw\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch the appliance off at the wall before removing any panels. Start the screw by hand so it follows the existing thread rather than cutting a new one, then drive it in with the correct bit until it's snug. Stop as soon as it's tight, because overdriving can strip the hole. If the hole is already stripped, a new screw on its own won't fix it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know this is the right screw?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook for 4055549135 in the parts list for your appliance, or measure the old screw. It should be 4.5mm across the thread and 16mm long, with a trilobular thread.
